ABSTRACT

Introducción: La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 se caracteriza por la hiperglucemia debido a la insuficiente producción de insulina de las células β. La mieloperoxidasa promueve el estrés oxidativo durante la inflamación y la ceruloplasmina se considera su inhibidor endógeno. Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre la ceruloplasmina y la mieloperoxidasa, determinadas simultáneamente en el suero de pacientes diabéticos tipo 2. Métodos: Se estudiaron 362 pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 y 110 sujetos sanos. La actividad sérica de la ceruloplasmina se determinó por el método de Siotto; y el de la mieloperoxidasa, por el de Kraeisz. Resultados: El 72 % de los pacientes diabéticos tenían hiperglucemia y el 77 % presentaba obesidad abdominal. Las actividades de ambas enzimas se incrementaron significativamente en relación con el grupo control. El coeficiente de correlación de la actividad enzimática resultó bajo. El cociente RMPO/CP de los pacientes diabéticos superó el de los controles. La ceruloplasmina no inhibió la mieloperoxidasa. Conclusiones: Predominó la mieloperoxidasa, por tanto, no se manifestó el efecto inhibitorio de la ceruloplasmina. La elevada actividad de la mieloperoxidasa se asocia con un agravamiento del cuadro clínico del paciente diabético.


Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia due to insufficient insulin production by β cells. Myeloperoxidase promotes oxidative stress during inflammation and ceruloplasmin is considered its endogenous inhibitor. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between ceruloplasmin and myeloperoxidase, determined simultaneously in the serum of type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: A total of 362 type 2 diabetic patients and 110 healthy subjects were studied. Serum ceruloplasmin activity was determined by the Siotto KM method and myeloperoxidase by the Kraeisz JE method. Results: 72% of diabetic patients had hyperglycemia and 77% had abdominal obesity. The activities of both enzymes were significantly increased relative to the control group. The correlation coefficient of enzyme activity was low. The ORMO/CP ratio of diabetic patients exceeded that of controls. Ceruloplasmin did not inhibit myeloperoxidase. Conclusions: Myeloperoxidase predominated, therefore, the inhibitory effect of ceruloplasmin was not manifested. The high activity of myeloperoxidase was associated with a worsening of the clinical picture of the diabetic patient.
